The Grand Void – Becoming a Dragon

Dongsheng Dynasty.

Among the capital.

Inside the palace.

All civil and military officials have dispersed.

But the rest of the people who stayed in the hall were all familiar faces.

In the eyes of many people, they are nothing more than merchants, white bodies, low status, with little gold and silver money, and they are only lucky enough to be appreciated by the emperor, so they can see their holy faces in the palace.

But only Zhuang Ming knows that these people are his real confidants.

"Your... Your Majesty..."

Bai Lao still couldn't change his words.

The person above, who is completely different in appearance and figure from the young master, is wearing a royal robe and an imperial crown.

But this emperor is the son.

"There are no outsiders, so don't worry too much."

Zhuang Ming came down from the throne, with his hands behind his back, and said: "This time, you have done a great job in handling the disaster relief. I will take this opportunity to give you official positions and enter the household department."

Bai Lao hesitated immediately, and said in a low voice: "The few people I'm waiting for are just in charge of the business, how can I take on this role?"

Zhuang Ming patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Bai Lao naturally has this ability, but in the past, you were only allowed to be in a commercial firm and care about the business of a land boundary, but now you are asked to manage the entire Dongsheng Dynasty. It's just business... In my eyes, the current Minister of the Household Department is not bad, but in terms of management ability, he is not as good as you. It's just that he comes from a good background. He has been in the imperial court for many years, step by step Now that he is in this position, to be honest, what makes him even more outstanding is his scheming in the courtroom."

Bai Lao felt a little apprehensive, and said, "I'm afraid this old slave has limited ability, so it's hard for me to take on this important task."

Zhuang Ming smiled and said: "In the past, when you were old, you stretched out your hand a little, and the thousand taels of silver were distributed one by one to develop commercial banks and businesses. The amount of a million taels of silver is nothing more than that, and the method is still similar. Of course, perhaps the current treasury does not have so many taels of silver..."

Being in a high position may have one aspect of talent, which is extremely outstanding, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they are all extremely intelligent, and it doesn't mean that people in the market are more stupid than them.

Some people are also shrewd and capable, quick-witted, and extremely intelligent, but because of their background, vision, and many other aspects, they can only care about the gains and losses of one or two taels of silver in the marketplace.

However, some people are in high positions because of their background, vision, chance, environment, etc., and the gain or loss of millions of taels of silver can be won or lost with a wave of their hands, and even the lives and deaths of millions of people are determined.

For example, the founding emperor of the Dongsheng Dynasty was just a small person who weaved straw sandals in the market. He was over half a century old and had achieved nothing and was mediocre. , established the Dongsheng Dynasty.

Such a person is often only limited by the lack of the current situation or opportunities, and is limited to his vision, and achieves nothing, but it does not mean that he is really incapable.

Another example is the Minister of the Household Department, who has been an official for three generations. His father was originally a second-rank official, and he was in charge of the Household Department by virtue of his father's blessing.

But in Zhuang Ming's eyes, neither Bai Lao nor Fu Lao is inferior to him in terms of talent.

It's just that the Zhuang's firm is too small, while the Dongsheng Dynasty is very large, so the gap between them seems to be very large.

In Zhuang Ming's eyes, the gap between the two lies more in "vision" than in "talent".

"After all, you were born as merchants. If you want to be directly promoted to a high position in the court, such an extraordinary promotion is unprecedented. It will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among civil and military officials. But now I am the master of the Dongsheng Dynasty."

Zhuang Ming said: "It's not difficult to subdue them, not only you, but also Yue Yang and others, as well as many guards in the firm, will be included in the army... As long as you have the ability in this area, there will be corresponding responses." position."

With his hands behind his back, he had long been prepared to fully integrate the Zhuang's firm into the Dongsheng Dynasty.

And the business of Zhuang's firm will also become the official business.

For him, the people of Zhuang's firm are his real foundation.

The senior figures of Zhuang's Commercial Firm, he probably has a count in his heart, how to arrange positions, and how to give corresponding powers, he also has a confidence.

Of course, the entire Dongsheng Dynasty is now in his hands, and it is not possible to completely replace all civil and military officials with people from Zhuang's firm.

If you really want to promote the old people, you need to have the corresponding ability.

And these days, above the court, he has also discovered many shrewd and capable officials who can indeed be entrusted with important tasks.

"But there is another aspect, which can be called extremely serious. It is no longer comparable to the business affairs. It must be resolved..."

Zhuang Ming thought like this, and secretly said: "The reason why the treasury of the Dongsheng Dynasty is almost empty is that they have corrupted the foundation of the dynasty. Even during this disaster relief, there were quite a few people who were blinded by greed and conscience. A batch, still can't deter people's hearts."

As for the living beings in the world, as long as they have intelligence in their hearts, they will naturally have selfishness.

It's just that some people can be upright and honest when righteousness overwhelms selfishness.

But there are very few people who can do this step through the ages.

Nowadays, scholars from all over the world are taking part in scientific examinations. Some of them have great ambitions and want to revitalize the Dongsheng Dynasty. They are passionate and full of justice, but who can persist for a lifetime?

From now on, he will really make steady progress and occupy a high position.

Countless money interests and countless beauties are like waves, constantly being pushed by various forces, approaching by your side, how many of them can keep their original intentions unchanged, and remain honest and honest, without being moved by them?

"In the past, there were ways to deal with anyone who was greedy in commercial firms, but it was not enough to manage the Dongsheng Dynasty."

Zhuang Ming read like this, looked at the vast sea, and said in a low voice: "I still lack one person, one who has the heart of a child, who can patrol all directions for me and keep officials everywhere clean and honest."

——

"Ahead is Jusheng Mountain?"

"In Dongzhou, is there a forbidden place that practitioners from all walks of life dare not mention?"

"There are rumors in the world that once you set foot on it, you will definitely die."

Chen Feiyun read like this, lowered his head, and looked at the bottle of pills.

This is the continuation pill, there are four pieces in it.

One of the top ten pills of Taiyuanzong.

As long as he comprehends the first seal of Zhenxuan and takes a Heaven-Continuing Pill, he can try to condense the seal of Zhenxuan immediately.

Even in today's world, the great cultivators of the Eight Seals of the True Mystery cannot turn a blind eye to such pills.

But Zhuang Ming handed the pill to him, and did not hide it.

With such a precious pill, Zhuang Ming is not afraid that he will be greedy, so he just ran away?

Chen Feiyun laughed at himself, and said: "Is he too naive to trust others? Or does he think that I dare not run away with Xutian Pill? Is it true that he has the courage to trust me without being suspicious of people?"

He said like this, gave a salute, and said: "The junior Chen Feiyun, who is acquainted with Tang Tianying, the third true biography of your family, and Zhuang Ming, the thirteenth true biography of the noble family, came here today by order to send the continuation of heaven pills to the blessed land of Jusheng Mountain."

After finishing speaking, with some apprehensive thoughts, he set foot on the land of Jusheng Mountain.

However, there was no legendary sword light flying over to chop him.

Only then did Chen Feiyun heave a sigh of relief.

He continued to move forward, only to realize that this place is called Huai'an, with a total of sixteen prefectures.
